PRESIDENT OPENS WAR DEBT TALKS WITH CABINET MEN Conference With Mills Lasts Half Hour—Stimson Is Luncheon Guest. DEPARTMENTS ASSEMBLE INFORMATION ON PROBLEM U. S. Expected to Insist on Some Sort of Payments on Amounts. Due Next Month. By the Associated Press. Confronted by the pressing war debt difculties, President Hoover quickly went into the matter with his advisers on his return to Washington today. For aimost half an hour, the Secre- tary of the Treasury, Ogden Mills, con- ferred with the Chief Executive. Secre- tary of State Stimson also had a lunch- eon engagement at the White House, with opportunity to help the President on arrangements being made for the meeting soon to come between him and President-elect Roosevelt. Among others who called at the White House was Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, a Republican leader— who was one of those consulted at the time the moratorium was announced. Reed stayed with the Chief Executive kelf an hour, and had no comment on their conversation on leaving. The Pennsylvanian in the past has opposed debt revision. Official Information Lacking. Although official information was lacking, the impression in informed quarters was that this country would insist on some sort of payments on amounts due from tbe debtor nations cember 15. How accurately this represented the administration attitude remained pugely conjectural, however, none of the h officlls familiar with the situation be- ing willing as yet to state their views for publication. Data Being Assembied. Assembling of data on the ‘many financial intricacies of the situation went ahead at the State and Treasury Departments. In the situation surrounding the war abligations, England, France and Bel- gium stood side by side today, eagerly a oonferences on this Nation's answer to ‘mompiex debt 3 =lgium yesterday joined lead of bor two fellow-fiebtors in seeking an exiension of the Hoover moratorium and re-exal the huge war ch'igations held by the United States.

Defeat of Revision Forecast. Possibly indicative also of the ulti- mate congressional decision on the debt question was a siatement by Repre- sentative Rainey, Democratic floor lead- er in the House, that any move toward debt rwktix;m wé%unl:rbe rejected “in this or_any other ess,’ Factors in the sifuation immedi- tely confronting Mr. Hoover included Greece's default on a payment due last week snd Hungary's notice that she cannot meet her December installment. 1gium, which has paid $52,191,273 of debt funded at $400,680,000 and owes $2,125,000 in December, referred in her note to the British and French requests, recalled that she adhered to the moratorium and later, “in the in- terests of peace and economic recov- * to the Lausanne agreements. The e added: ‘In so doing, it consented to meke sacrifices which were particularly heavy and which have profoundly affected the financial situation of Belgium. The Bel- gium government remains convinced that the difficulties with which the 1d is faced today cannot be overcome less the nations pursue a resolute licy of co-operation and mutual as- nce.” Rainey said he saw “no reason why the United States Government should give the foreign debtors any more money.” In Mississippi, Senator Harri- son, prominet Democrat, predicted Con- gress would not “modify” its expressed position against further reductions or cancellation. Senators Swanson, Virginia, and Fletcher, Florida, were two other Dem- ocrats joining in this view. ITALY IS MARKING TIME. Awaits U, S. Reaction to Other Nations’ Debt-Delay Appeals. ROME, November 16 (#).—Rumors that Italy was preparing a debt post- ponement request to the United States, similar to the action taken by Britain, France and Belgium, today elicited a semi-official statemfent that there was “nothing to it so far.” Fmsngdal sources expressed the belief that the Rome government wes wait- ing to study the American reaction to the other request before deciding on any similar move.

BY WALTER TRUMBULL. No bill for the immediate payment of the veterans’ bonus will pass at the coming short or “lame duck” session of Congress, accarding to 8. Stanwood Menken, chairman of "$ic Committee Against the Pre-psyment of the Bonus. “Not only are we assured enough votes in the House of Representatives to sustain a veto by the President,” Mr. Menken said, “but we need only about 30 votes from Representatives who have not yet declared themselves to defeat the bill itseif.” 116 Opposed. Asked their stand in & questionnaire sent out by the National Committee, 116 members of the present House have declared themselves definitely opposed to present payment of the bonus; two are against it with qualifications, mean- ing they are not for payment until a sufficient Government surpius has been accumulated; nine are for payment with qualifications, such as Deedy veterans only, and 31 are de- finitely in favor of immediate payment. Of 252 representatives from whom no answers have bcen received, 177 voted for the immediate payment bill, intro- duced by Wright Patman of Texas at the last session, and 75 voted against that bill. Eliminating those who quali- {y their position, the line-up is as fol- lows: Against bonus, in questionnaire. .. Voted against Patman bill For bonus, in questionnaire. . Voted for Patman bill Veto Overriding Unlikely. It requires 290 votes in the House to override the President's veto. But the National Committee Against Pre- payment of the Bonus believes that in view of the stand taken both by President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt, many who voted for the bill will be less ready to do s0 if it is re- introduced at the short session. The Senate voted against the bill and there is no reason to believe it will change its attitude. The Seventy-third Congress will be a different matter. Because of the great number of new members—158— it is not possible, on the figures at hand, to estimate with much degree of accuracy what Congress may do. Of the new members questioned in a questionnaire sent out by the Na- tional Committee, some districts were late, 115 failed to answer, 26 announced themselves as against immediate pay- ment of the bonus and 17 declared themselves as favoring full payment now. | «Copyrignt. 1952, by North American News- Dpaper Alliance, Inc.)

K yment to | Expert Tells Identification Session Law Against Use by CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION IN SPRING HELD INEVITABLE Democrats Here Base Opin- ion on Heavy Program for December Congress. GEORGE THINKS GENERAL TARIFF REVISION UNWISE Vote on Beer and Taxes Appears Likely Before March 4 Adjournment. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. A special session of the newly elected | | Congress next Spring seems inevitable. | Some of the Democratic leaders now in | Washington took that view of the situ- | ation today. Frankly, they do not look forward with delight to such a session, but they figure the demand for it will be too strong to be avoided. The only chance to avoid it would lie in ability of the present Congress to dispose of a mass of important legis- lation in the coming short session, end- ing March 4. This legislation necessarily would in- clude disposal of the foreign debt ques- tion, action on beer legislation and a resolution resubmitting the eighteenth amendment to the States, banking legis- lation snd measures for. the relief of agriculture and industry. In addition, the World Court proposal 1s pressing for action in the Senate and also the treaty with Canada for the St. Lawrence waterway. Too Much for Short Session. There seems no chance of putting through such a program at the short !session. In addition to the Igprcpfl- ation bills, it is doubtful whether two or more of the subjects mentioned could be considered. A real upturn in business in the ‘Winter: months might revive hope for a recess of Congress next Summer. The | expected demand of the farmers and of | labor for legislation which they believe | may be helpful to them is likely to knock all these hopes into a cocked hat. | And certainly if the present Congress does not dispose of the prohibition ques- | tion, there will be a cry from many | throats for a special session in the Sengnwr George of Georgia s one of +he Democrats who looks upon a spe- cin] session of ];}:tne‘; Congre ulrly nex. year as al a foregone eonclu- . He also is one of those who wishes conditions would arise which would make such a session unnecessary. “I do not believe,” said Senator ‘Gem&e today, “that it will be possible ’mr e Congress to dispose of the im- portant subjects now awaiting action at the short session, which opens December 5. I wish that it might be done. The people, however, have voted for a change of administration and for a change of program. It will be neces- sary for the Democrats to produce such a program. Perhaps it would be as well if the Democratic party in Congress could have a longer time to formulate such a program. I think, however, that the demand for early action will be so strong as to make necessary the calling of a special session by the President- elect soon after he enters office.” George Mentioned as Leader. Senator George was asked if he be- leved that a special session of the new Congress should and would tackle a general revision of the tariff. His reply was that he believed it would be wiser not to enter upon a general revision of the tariff at a special session next Spring. - He said he believed the Demo- cratic Congress should adopt a pro- nouncement, however, declaring that increases in tariff duties had come to an end and that they should be re- | duced where it was found advisable. | | He said that industry in the past has rushed to Washington to obtain aid from tariff duties without regard to the welfare of the whole country and of foreign commerce. He said that indus- try should be made to understand that the interests of the whole country would be considered first hereafter. Senator George has been mentioned as a possible selection of the Demo- crats in the next Congress as their Sen- ate leader in place of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. “My own personal opinion,” he said, “js that Senator Robinson is entitled to retain the Democratic leadership of (Continued on Page 4, Column 4.)

Economic Arrangement. The consortium, as described by M. Patenotre on his arrival from Berlin, was said to be purely an economic ar- rangement, but, as approved by the three governments, the program is an outgrowth of the visit of then Premier Plerre Laval and tke late Aristide Briand to Berlin in 1931 Premier Edouard Herriot will be the titular head of the consortium in France and Chancellor Franz Von Papen in Germeny.

Three Syndicates Planned. ‘The group will consist of three syndi- cates, first, Franco-German financial experts; second, Anglo-Franco-German bankers, and third, a Franco-German syndicate designed to carry out recom- mendations of the second group in the | electrification projects.

Patenotre Born in Jersey. M. Patenotre was born in Atlantic City, N. J., the son of Jules Patenotre, | former Prench Ambassador to Wash- ington. : M. Patenotre later succeeded his grandfather, the late Col, James Elver- son, publisher of the Philadelphia In- quirer, as publisher of that news- paper. He continued as such until after he was elected to the French Chamber of Deputies. The Inquirer since has been sold out of the Elverson family and M. Patenotre has become a French politician. He is serving his second term in the Chamber of Deputies. Be- cause of services rendered to Premier Herriot he was awarded a post in the present cabinet. A great friend of former Premier Pierre Laval, M. Patenotrs accompanied M. Laval on his trip to Washington in the Fall of 1931. ‘When he assumed office last June, M. Patenotre said he slood for close busi- ness_co-operation between France and the United States and that this would be one of the central policies of the Herriot government. W. C. T. U.

The House Campaign Committee, headed by Representative Ragon, Ar- kansas, Democrat, decided today to in- vestigate last week’s elections in Penn- sylvania and Delaware. The committee will start its hearings tomorrow at 10 a.m. in the Philadelphia Federal Building. Philip Crook, assist- | specific ant sergeant at arms, was given four subpoenas to serve in Philadelphia this afternoon. The subpoenas were for Gen.

Davis Wilson of Phila- delphia would assist the committee at the hearing. “There have been charges of election irregularities sufficient to warrant the investigation,” Ragon said. ‘The committee chairman pointed out that the committee was not interested in the Pennsylvania senatorial election.

Complaints of irregularities, Ragon sald, had been received by others than ‘Wilson, but he did not have the com- plainants’ names available. Wilson told the committee yesterday he had 2,000 complaints of lllcczrll prac- tices in the Pennsylvania elections. He sald he was confident the State would have been in the Roosevelt and Rupp columns if it had not been for irregu- larities.

But real beer has been the hope and promise of the wets. g The Supreme Court of the United States, according to constitutional law- yers, has never held as to whether any particular liquor was intoxicating. The court has upheld the Volstead act, with its provision that all lor of a percentage of more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcoholic content is prohibited. But in so deciding the suFreme Court did not*say that one- half of 1 per cent was the highest al- cohol content permissible under the eighteenth amendment. What the court did, in the most outstanding decision testing the validity of the Volstead act, was to uphold the right of Con- ,rm to fix the aleoholic content for intoxicating beverages, and to hold that it had a right to fix the figure of one-half of 1 per cent.

Tumulty and Others Broadcast Appeals. The army of workers in the Commu- nity Chest campaign had erased poverty and distress from three months of the black calendar of 1933 when the total of $577,053.80 had been tabulated on the campaign scoreboard at the close of today’s report meeting in the Willard Hotel. Exactly 87 days had been crossed off the calendar when the reporting was completed. The total was reached with 15,007 subscriptions, and puts the Chest sub- scriptions at approximately the one- quarter mark, somewhat behind the pace established last year at this time, when the same amount, $2,419,787, was raised.
